(Open Floor Hearing, May 2 2024) "Good afternoon and thank you to the inspectorate and the organisers. According to the UN Climate Chief, we have just two years to save the world. According to many scientists studying our planet’s climate and the 10 million species who live on this planet, it is already too late … Continue reading On Gatwick Airport’s New Proposed Runway to Hell
Global industrial civilisation was built to cater to human needs: more comfort, more laughter, more love. But it lacked the “heart” to understand these intrinsically human, largely emotional needs. It was much easier for us to focus on creating this civilisation initially as a machine of efficiency, hoping that emotions, “humanity”, would eventually come in … Continue reading The Consumatronic State and the Illusion of Happiness
When a species eliminates all predators, it is a threat to everything. And when its population reaches astronomical numbers, this threat becomes existential. Everything is attacked, including the inanimate world: atmosphere, weather, energy, temperature. The planetary infrastructure is taken down bit by bit, much like a Hollywood set hurriedly dismantled to make space for the … Continue reading Hallucinating Parasites and the War on Physics
All power corrupts, brain power being no exception to this. At some point in our evolution, the human brain became huge. The tremendous competitive advantages of such a brain would unavoidably lead us to arrogance, as we became increasingly masterful at using this brain less as a reasoning device, and more as a weapon of … Continue reading Problem-Solving Savages at the Edge of Extinction
Every slave master miscalculates the physical breaking point of their slaves, assuming that they will have an infinite tolerance for abuse. In an equally abusive necroeconomy, our biological limits are being exceeded by a system which tries to get as much out of us as it can. But there are physical thresholds. When these are … Continue reading Revolting in the Body and Mind
Some of the greatest minds in humans were actually not very “intelligent”. They didn’t have impressive, fast computation powers. They didn’t have talents they could showcase in a circus. They had no noteworthy leadership, communication or self-management skills. And they certainly were not “aggressively driven”. But they were awake, more awake than few humans had … Continue reading The Infinity State
As filler humans, we are entering a new slavery situation where our master is not even human. We can’t see them because they don’t have a face, and we can’t attack them because they are virtually everywhere. For a species who invented the concept of personal ownership, it was very ironic yet at the same … Continue reading Human Pets of the Consumaverse
A successful business is one which can create more of itself, regardless of cost to humans or the planet. Unless it has aggressive plans to expand, a business today should have little reason to exist. This dogma of expansion now pervades all economic activity: businesses must collaborate with the Unhappiness Machine of marketing, religion, the … Continue reading When Profit Grows a Brain: the rise of sentient necrocapitalism
It is ironic but not at all surprising that, for a civilisation claiming to have taken care of its most basic needs a very long time ago, its demise will come down to the one, most basic need common to all organisms: food. Civilisations may survive without technology or organised society, but they cannot … Continue reading Food, Life and Sanity: the Triple Disappearing Act
This civilisation has learned to survive by extraction, exploitation and extinction. It is the teenager walking up to the fridge, taking whatever they need without ever wondering who went grocery shopping, how much it cost, and who paid the electric bill. This lazy formula of existence has been so easy and straightforward, so successful and … Continue reading The Civilisational Lie
